Day after day, time does not seem to pass. Now entering the third week I am in the palace of Asia. Right today, it's been a month that Zu and I have known each other. And it seems, I'm getting used to all his behavior and attitude. From today on I will consider the Asian palace like my own home.
To be honest I miss my two princes and would love to meet them. But I don't know what happened in Space, until now I haven't heard from them. Even so, I still believe that one day they will pick me up. Hopefully after this business is done, because now I still help the king in the process of healing his illness. Or at least, it can ease the pain.
The king had a blockage of blood vessels in the neck. I don't know why it could be like that. Two weeks ago I tried to lock her up, accompanied by Zu and Shu. They finally saw the results themselves. Black thick blood came out from the upper back of the king, close to the neck.
Zu and Shu did not believe what he saw. They immediately investigated this. But unfortunately, the palace medicine hall party was like covering up what happened. No one wants to confess the composition of the drug that has been consumed by the king. Until finally, I ventured to check the medicinal herbs.
Now I'm at a traditional market with Shu. Zu himself is still busy with his daily routine. I saw this annoying prince lazily accompanying me. I also have to bring my own groceries.
He's heartless or insensitive, anyway?!
I grumbled in my heart. Until I arrived at a place that sells raw materials for traditional medicines, I stopped and asked the composition of the medicine I brought.
"Awhile, Non. I mashed the pill."
The seller of the raw materials of these drugs mashed the pills I carried. And soon he gave me the answer to what I was asking.
"Miss, sorry before. Where did Miss get these pills?" ask the seller.
Shu and I are purposely dressed, like the people of this country. So that no one recognized us. Shu covered her face with a mask-like cloth. So that no one can recognize him as the prince of this country.
"I got the medicine from a friend. He said it could cure blood vessel blockage. But it turns out, my uncle's illness is getting worse." I reasoned.
"Gosh, Non. Very nice friend Miss. These pills use dangerous vines and are mixed with snake venom. It's not healing, no."
"What-what?!" I'm appalled.
"Miss should immediately report Miss's friend to the royal party. It's already very inhumane. Instead of healing, turn off slowly."
Instantly I was surprised not to play to hear the seller's words. As well as Shu, he ended up speaking.
"You sure this is a dangerous pill?!" Shu made sure firmly.
"Yes, Sir. Why do I lie, especially when it comes to someone's life. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Fu healer under the foot of Mount Fuji." The seller explained.
"Tabib Fu? Under the foothills of Mount Fuji?" ask again.
"Yes, Miss. He's an expert in concocting antidotes. I also sell raw materials on advice from him. So that the people here do not use harmful chemical drugs." The seller explained.
Kurekam in memory of the name of the healer and the location of his residence. Looks like I'm gonna have to see that healer. But there's no way that if she's with Shu, she won't. So inevitably I have to go with Zu.
Will Zu be able to take a day off in the near future? I asked myself in my heart.
"Em, okay. Then are there any raw materials for this pill antidote for a while? Because it looks like we can't go straight to the Fu healer's house." I tried asking for a temporary antidote.
"Good, Non. I'm ready."
It just so happens that the buyer is not much at the moment, so I can freely chat. And without me noticing, Shu was no longer beside me. I looked for him, it turned out that he was near the horse. Both hands clenched, his face reddened. It seems he is holding back anger.
"This, Miss. Everything is sixty silver," he said mentioning the nominal expenditure of raw materials of this bidder.
"It can be made how many times to drink, Uncle?" ask again.
"Okay, thank you." I gave him one gold coin and left.
"Miss, wait!" The seller called me back.
"Yes, Uncle? Is the money less?" I asked while holding my groceries.
"No, Non. It's still got change." The seller took the change for my groceries.
"No need, Uncle. Just take it," I said with a smile.
The seller of the raw materials of the potion was like a surprise, he then smiled at me. I don't know what's on his mind, but I see him holding his chest, like grateful.
This is so weird.
I suspect it was the queen who poisoned the king. The palace medical hall looked shut up. What exactly is going on? Looks like I'll have to figure out the truth for myself.
I was still wondering as I continued to step foot towards the white horse I borrowed. Arriving there, Shu immediately climbed onto her dark horse and walked first in front of me. Without words, without saying goodbye.
He's more annoying than Rain.
I don't know what he's thinking, I'll just get on my horse. I put my groceries in the back pocket. I followed Shu back to the Asian palace.
Arriving in the courtyard of the Asian palace...
I arrived at the palace courtyard, a huge courtyard. Just this time I saw a yard this wide, there were probably about two or three times the football field. The palace itself is a full field. It is inconceivable if you have to walk, the distance from the gate to the entrance of the palace is very far in my opinion.
Thankfully, there are horses.
I'm still grateful that Zu lent me his white horse. So if you want to take a walk, not too tiring.
"Daughter."
As I descended the horse right in front of the palace entrance, I saw Mine greeting me. It seems like he's been waiting for me a long time. It looks like his tired face.
"Daughter of Mine, happy greetings," I said in return.
When the princess was surprised by my greeting, she seemed to remember something. Then I immediately took my groceries and took off the white horse, so that he would walk where he wanted. As for me, intending to go into the palace kitchen to make this antidote that I have bought.
"Em, is .. can we talk for a minute?" tanyanya hesitated.
I don't know what he wants to talk about, it seems to be quite important. But my responsibilities are more important than her requests.
"Daughter, sorry I still have a job. Can I do it after I finish my job?" ask her.
Honestly, being trusted to help the healing process of the king's illness makes me a little objectionable. But Zu begged with teary eyes at that time, so I did not have the heart of him.
"A little while, Princess." He asked for it back.
Because it was not good, I finally obeyed his invitation to talk for a while. And while carrying all my groceries, I followed him towards the palace gazebo.
